Does Jail Help Or Hurt A Rapper?

 
Most of us have heard names such as Lil' Wayne, T.I., but do we know them because of public media or  their songs. Nowadays, most Hip-Hop Artists or Rappers rap about sex, money, cars, and women. Do Americans exactly listen to the lyrics or do Americans succumb to the beat of the music. I decide to listen and to watch to this music video. This artist used the word b**ch more than 5 times, and that is all I could understand because the b-word had more emphasis than his other mumbling. The artist is named Gucci Mane, and Gucci is in jail for parole violation. I believe that jail-time does indeed help rappers. Rappers thrive on pubic media and the consumer's money. Many teenagers do not know what jail is actually like, and many believe that jail is where people go when they do "cool stuff". Gucci Mane was sentenced to 12 months in jail, but that's not stopping him from being a top-selling artist. Gucci Mane is so popular that he plans to release another album later this year according to his website.  I guess that jail-time really does help a rapper's reputation.
